Skill is more important because everyone has the same luck so skill will put one person above another in the longterm

To stay in a good position = Skill
To win = Skill+Luck

So many thoughts, and on the end everyone is telling his story about luck or skill. When you played it with skill and you lose you are saying we were out of luck, opposite too.

If you got skill, you notice when you have to play Risiko, then u also need the luck. But Skill is most important.

You all need to realise that luck runs out, skill is forever.

Poker requires skill and also a lot of luck, because even if you have a good hand you never know what is going to come out on the flop and so I think it requires luck and also great skill.

Depends on your goal as a player.

Want to make this your profession and play for years to come? Then long term skill > luck.

Do you play just for fun, to kill time, and/or just for the excitement, but don't plan on ever doing it as a profession or for the rest of your life? Then luck > skill.

In my experience luck factor rules in hyper turbo tournaments. In normal tournaments skill has upper hand though sometimes, if our full house becomes under house till river then we could say oh how lucky he/she was..LOL

I think he has more skill in the beginning and middle of the tournaments, but in the final part, he has to have a lot more luck, but the more marginal hands will be played, because at this stage he has to be very aggressive himself !!!

So that's it, GL and we meet at the tables !!!

i think more important skill, because luck will not always with us when playing, if skill we can learn that by practicing, read this lovely forum, and watching video.

If you're new to poker, you'll probably have been lucky ... but you can not deny, for those who already know the game, how real the player's skills are when it comes to making decisions.
